Well, the US will need at least ONE ally when Europe gets sick of its shit.

Yes, I’ve known about it for a while. It doesn’t look good, does it? There is a lot our government isn’t telling us….

Why is this scary? They have 60 soldiers visiting to do disaster training with US troops. This has been done every year since 1998.

If China can take over the US with 60 people, I say they deserve to keep it.

@snowberry It’s not exactly a secret if it’s in all the mainstream press.

Haha! The same boogeyman was trotted out last year – only then, it was the Russians everyone was supposed to fear.

Did you know that Chinese manufacturers replaced almost every American producer of consumer goods between 1980 and 2013?

They may be able to do it with 60 if the power goes out.

@jaytkay
Manufacturing, yes. But let’s not forget that it was mostly American companies outsourcing their manufacturing to china.

@glacial Oh, I know it’s been in the news; but there is still a lot they’re not telling us… They have taught me not to trust them.

Well, of course. Obama the Muslim is welcoming the Chinese so that they can be trained to take over the entire United States and create the Sino-Islamic Empire Caliphate! Yet another example of how Obama the Kenyan is actually trying to sell out the United States. Impeach him!

Or so the conspiracy theorists would say. We do this with almost every country in the world (except Iran and N Korea). This is media scare politics at its best (or worst).

Last year it was the Russians. Can the commie haters please get a grip that Red Dawn was only a fictional movie?

Not only that but Asian soldiers have fought in the US military since the foundation of the country.
